TESTIMONIALS:
“While I continue to find the group coaching, mind-body workouts, and topics in Transform and Society incredibly valuable, I was able to achieve even greater results on my thought and emotional work with 1:1 coaching. I was able to become more vulnerable in that protected space, which was what I needed. Having a coach work directly with me along my journey has been life changing.”
Dr. Ashley Sandeen
“I have been doing 1:1 coaching for over a year now, and I cannot say enough about how powerful this experience has been. Already engaged in Ali's group programs, 1:1 coaching enabled me to take a deep dive into the tools and concepts that are central to Ali's LCWP programs, and truly individualize them to my own goals. And the results have been transformational in mind and body. I can't think of a more valuable investment. Thank you Ali!”
Dr. Lisa Zucker
“1:1 Coaching this past year has prepared me to execute several projects with clarity and confidence. As I have taken on new leadership roles it has been invaluable. The tools I have learned in LCWP programs have not only helped me with my exercise and nutrition goals, but they have translated into all areas of my life.”
Dr. Marion McCrary
“You can get everything you need out of group coaching, but taking it to the next level with 1:1 was just what I needed as an introvert to feel more comfortable coaching on more intimate, private topics that I might not otherwise have addressed. 1:1 coaching creates a nonjudgmental, accepting relationship to help you level up your life. I highly recommend.”
